WORLD WIDE SOLO WALID RA'AD - The Atlas Group Project 8 - 25 May |
It is a view he does not recognize. He embarks on a
personal project that focuses on research; research into
Lebanon's history and the value of documents about that
history.
Conversations on this topic form an important part of
his work and this is why he teaches, gives lectures and
does performances.
In the work of Walid Ra'ad fiction and reality become so
mixed as to be almost indistinguishable. Not just reality is
important to him, but also how this reality might have been,
and this is why he manipulates his material.
The exhibition consists of two video projections:
Miraculous Beginnings and No, Illness Is Neither Here Nor
There, two 'notebooks': Notebook Volume 72_Missing
Lebanese Wars and Notebook Volume 38_Already Been in
a Lake of Fire and 16 black & white self portraits of Fakhouri:
Never That I Remember.
